Chapter 94: Swollen Face
Actually, the time that I, Shao Yuan, have been live streaming is only two hours.
But the number of people online has exceeded 10 million.
The average number of online users reached more than 13 million.
This kind of result is actually far behind those top live-streaming hosts.
However, those anchors who sell goods.
Every time before the show starts, there will be several days of advance publicity and residual heat.
As for I, Shao Yuan, this is a temporary decision to start broadcasting.
Moreover, today is Monday during working hours, and many people simply don’t have time to watch the live broadcast.
Even so, having more than a thousand people watching online is already very impressive.
What’s even more amazing is that it only took two hours.
The transaction volume of Zhen Shao Yuan’s live broadcast room reached 5.5 billion.
120,000 items were sold.
Moreover, these 120,000 items are all electric vehicles.
Although Zhen Shao Yuan has always emphasized that he is helping fans to buy things on their behalf, in essence it is quite different from live streaming sales.
The goods were carried on a four-wheeled electric vehicle.
This really set a precedent in the Han Dynasty.
However, what is even more surprising is that out of the 5.5 billion transaction volume, 1.65 billion was subsidized by me, Shao Yuan myself.
In other words, his actual transaction volume was only 3.85 billion.
When many people saw this news, they didn’t believe that there would be such a spendthrift person who would spend his own money to buy a car for his fans.
Although I, Shao Yuan, had also engaged in wasteful behavior in the Black Dragon store before.
However, there is still a huge gap between tens of millions and billions.
Now, all the posts on the Internet are about Shao Yuan’s live broadcast.
"Spending over a billion to help fans buy cars? That's a scam."
"It's definitely another clickbait headline. Don't even bother reading it."
"I just came here after checking it out. It seems to be true. I heard that Shao Yuan really invested over a billion of his own money."
"How is that possible? He must have made arrangements with those car brands. Every promoter who promotes products is paying for it themselves. In reality, they are all making a killing."
"The above person, this time it's really different. Those who can make money are all other things. This time, the goods that I, Shao Yuan, are selling are those electric cars. The price is 30% off after various subsidies and discounts. That price doesn't even cover the cost. How can those car companies sell cars at a loss?"
"A friend of mine was also at the Blue City auto show. He said that the livestream selling of cars by Shao Yuan wasn't something we had planned with the car brands. It was all a last-minute decision. And there wasn't even a hint of a price increase; we were actually selling the cars out of our own pocket."
"No way? There's a prodigal anchor like this?"
"It's fake, it must be fake. I strongly suspect that the so-called redemption vouchers given to those people after they place an order are definitely fake. If you go to any car dealership, they will definitely ask for extra money or something. I've seen this kind of trick many times."
"Didn't someone place an order at the Blue City Auto Show? It can be redeemed at the show. So, did the person who placed the order redeem it? Can anyone come forward and tell me about it?"
…
At first, people on the Internet didn’t believe that Shao Yuan would really spend tens of billions of yuan to sell cars live.
Later, someone conducted investigations and research.
I found that the prices of the cars in Zhen Shaoyuan’s live broadcast room were indeed at a loss after a 30% discount after subsidies.
This is equivalent to a 50% discount on the original price of the car.
At this price, it is impossible for those car brands to sell their cars.
Because the more they sell, the more they lose.
So, later on, those people no longer worried about the price.
Instead, they began to shift their focus to redemption vouchers.
Many people speculated that the so-called electronic exchange voucher could definitely not be exchanged for a car.
Even if you can exchange for a car, you will definitely need to find various reasons and pay various price increases before you can exchange it.
They couldn't believe that such a big pie would fall from the sky.
Those who held this idea also included those who did not place an order in the live broadcast room because they suspected that Shao Yuan was playing tricks on them.
They also wanted to place an order to buy the car. After all, the price was really tempting.
But they are greedy.
I thought, since I’m going to buy it anyway, I might as well just read it first and then buy.
I think it is impossible for me, Shao Yuan, to only link to each car once and sell it only once.
Unexpectedly, they only went online once and sold it only once.
After the last one was sold out, he closed the live broadcast room very quickly and efficiently.
There is no drag at all.
A large group of fans had been waiting for him there for an hour, but he just refused to open the live broadcast room.
This also shows his attitude.
Of course, those fans who didn’t place an order were panicked.
They're afraid they've missed out on the best bone-breaking deals.
In the end, after confirming that I really missed it.
They began to seek psychological comfort.
They began to comfort themselves by saying that maybe it was right not to place the order.
After all, even if I, Shao Yuan, am a spendthrift, I will spend more than ten billion to squander it.
Maybe the voucher was fake.
Or maybe the exchange voucher is actually a trap.
When the person who placed the order takes the voucher to redeem the car and goes to pick up the car, he will definitely be harassed the most.
They will definitely be asked to pay extra money or something.
Yes, that must be it.
However, is this really the case?
The answer was revealed in the live broadcast of fans who rushed to the Blue City Auto Show and placed orders on the spot.
After Zhen Shao Yuan left, those fans who had rushed to the Blue City Auto Show and placed orders on the spot immediately began to look for the corresponding car brands at the auto show and began to redeem the cars they had purchased in Zhen Shao Yuan's live broadcast room.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people exchanging their money.
Moreover, because this activity was started at the last minute, those brands did not have time to make further preparations.
Therefore, fans who wanted to redeem cars were asked to line up first, and then they would be processed one by one after they were ready.
I saw those car brands said they had no preparation yet and needed time to deal with it.
So, they need to queue up and wait for a while.
Everyone expressed their understanding.
After all, I, Shao Yuan, said in the live broadcast room that this activity was a sudden idea of his.
Therefore, the fact that these brands were not prepared at all proves that what I, Shao Yuan, said was true.
Therefore, everyone was willing to wait in line.
Anyway, there is air conditioning in the auto show and there is no sun.
The sales managers of those brands were also very considerate. Not only did they provide stools for everyone in line, they also gave each of them drinks and some snacks.
The service attitude is really very good.
This also made many fans feel a little relieved.
Although we waited for an hour, we had food and drinks, so the hour passed quickly.
Among them, many people turned on live broadcast and prepared to broadcast the entire process of queuing to exchange cars.
Among them were Ma Liang, his girlfriend, and Liu Chan.
Ma Liang and his girlfriend did not buy the same car as Liu Chan.
So, the queues are different.
Ma Liang and his girlfriend were smart. They moved quickly in the queue and directly grabbed the third spot.
The car brands at this auto show are all local brands of China.
What they photographed was an ingenious electric car.
The original price of that electric car was around 250,000 yuan.
After adding subsidies and discounts, and a 30% discount, the price directly became 125,000.
This is half the price now.
Even if it's an electric car, it's still worth it.
Moreover, this car is no worse than those gasoline cars costing over 200,000 yuan in terms of various equipment.
Ma Liang trusts me, Shao Yuan, very much.
He believed that this time, Shao Yuan was really paying for the cars for his fans.
When he saw so many people on the Internet questioning Zhen Shao Yuan, he immediately started a live broadcast.
"Hello, everyone. Long time no see. Guess where my girlfriend and I are now?"
"Yes, we are at the Blue City Auto Show. As for why we are here, everyone who knows will understand."
"Yes, I know you're all concerned about the voucher issue. That's why I'm live streaming now. We're queuing up now, waiting to redeem the cars. After all, this event was a spur-of-the-moment idea from His Majesty, and it wasn't pre-arranged with the car brands. Therefore, these brands aren't ready yet. We need to wait in line."
"However, these businesses offer great service. See? Not only do we have stools to sit on, but we also have food and drinks. There's air conditioning, and we can chat with the people next to us. It's much more comfortable than at home. The only problem is that there are a lot of people lining up. Come, let me show you."
Ma Liang pointed the camera at the queue behind him, and then took pictures of the queues next to him.
"You see, there are quite a lot of people lining up here. They're probably all from Blue City. They all rushed over to the auto show after getting the news."
"You asked me if I was worried that the voucher wouldn't work for a car. I'm not afraid. I trust His Majesty."
"I wasn't bribed by His Majesty to speak well of him. No, to be honest, I was indeed bribed by His Majesty. After all, His Majesty gave me and my girlfriend so many bags and clothes before, and I was overwhelmed by them. What's more, there was also a commission of hundreds of thousands of villas later. It's also true that I was bribed by His Majesty."
…
Seeing someone raised questions in the live broadcast room, Ma Liang was not panicked at all.
Afterwards, some very bad comments appeared in the live broadcast room.
"Tsk, what are you so proud of? They're just taking advantage of you, and you think you're taking advantage. What a bunch of idiots."
"How could there be such a bargain for you guys? If that voucher can really be exchanged for a car, I'll eat shit live on the air."
"You're a bunch of idiots. I'm just teasing you."
"That I, Shao Yuan, started throwing money around just to gain your trust. That way I could take a chunk out of you. You're just a bunch of pigs waiting to be slaughtered. What's there to be happy about?"
"Luckily, I was smart and didn't place an order, otherwise I would have been ripped off."
"If you ask me, I, Shao Yuan, am too immoral. Is this kind of thing considered illegal?"
"Would they dare to make such a big fuss? Would they dare to forge the exchange vouchers? They must be afraid of going to jail for free. So, I believe the exchange vouchers are real. It's just that when you go to exchange them for the car, you still need to pay a large sum of money."
"I also think they need to pay extra. After all, no one would actually do something as foolish as giving money to someone else. I've seen this kind of trick too many times. Just wait and see. Those who placed an order and bought the exchange voucher will definitely be forced to pay a large sum of money when they go to exchange it for the car. Maybe even half of the price."
"Pay half the price? Impossible. That would be the same as buying the car at full price."
"How is that impossible? Many people on the internet say so. It must be true. Don't believe what this anchor says. He just admitted that he was bribed by that I, Shao Yuan. I, Shao Yuan, am a liar, so he must be a liar too."
…
Ma Liang didn't expect that those black fans would actually run into his live broadcast room to discredit Shao Yuan.
I was so angry that I was fuming.
But he didn't forget that he was live streaming.
So, he just gritted his teeth and sneered, "The exchange hasn't even started yet, and you already know it can't be exchanged? Can you predict the future, or do you have clairvoyance and super hearing? Can you hear that the auto show says it can't be exchanged?"
Coincidentally, at this time, those car brands were ready and the redemption activities were about to begin.
Ma Liang immediately pointed the camera forward.
"The redemption activity has begun, just watch."
Faced with many people in the live broadcast room questioning Zhen Shao Yuan, Ma Liang was very angry.
Ma Liang's girlfriend saw that her boyfriend was angry.
He quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry. I believe His Majesty won't let us down. Wait a minute, take a good and clear picture and slap the faces of those who are talking nonsense."
"good."
Ma Liang felt that what his girlfriend said made a lot of sense.
He suppressed his anger and said to the people in the live broadcast room, "Can the exchange voucher be exchanged for a car? Let's use facts to speak for ourselves."
The young man who was first in line saw that the redemption activity had officially begun.
He immediately stood up impatiently, took his cell phone, and walked quickly to the three salesmen in charge of registration.
"Sir, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
The three salesmen gave the young man a polite smile.
The young man waved his hand, "Not long, not long. I'll just wait for a while."
Then he asked his girlfriend to show the redemption voucher on her phone to the three of them, "Can you show me this voucher? Can it be exchanged for a car?"
The young man's heart was actually pounding.
He is not a fan of Zhen Shao Yuan.
I've been thinking of buying a scooter lately.
There happened to be a car show going on here, so he came to take a look. Actually, he didn't want to buy an electric car.
But unexpectedly, I ran into Zhen Shao Yuan doing a live broadcast.
I heard that as long as you follow Zhen Shaoyuan’s live broadcast room, you can get a 30% discount on the car after receiving various subsidies and discounts.
He immediately paid attention to Zhen Shao Yuan's live broadcast room.
Then, I was dazzled by the extremely favorable price and placed an order to buy the car.
After placing the order, I saw many people on the Internet saying that buying a car through live streaming is a scam.
Either the voucher cannot be exchanged for a car, or when exchanging it, they find all kinds of excuses to ask you to pay.
Therefore, the young man had been sitting there feeling uneasy, fearing that he had been ripped off. After all, this was all his savings.
He looked at the three salesmen in front of him with trepidation.
One of the female salespeople took a look at the voucher in his hand.
The smile on his face grew even brighter.
"Of course sir."
Then he picked up a car purchase contract from the side and handed it to the young man.
"Sir, this is the car purchase contract. You need to fill it out."
Another salesperson next to him handed the young man a pen.
The contract is actually very simple, after all, the car is purchased in full.
There isn't so much clutter to fill out.
When the young people encountered something they didn't understand, they asked the salesperson, and they all answered their questions very patiently.
Soon, the young man finished filling out the contract.
The contract is made in triplicate.
The customer will take one copy for himself.
After signing the contract, the salesperson checked it and said, "There are no problems with the contract. Then, sir, please confirm receipt directly on the order form. Otherwise, this contract will not take effect."
"Oh, okay."
The young man immediately clicked to confirm receipt.
Afterwards, the salesperson asked the young man to take a screenshot of the page confirming receipt and successful payment.
Send it to them.
After they save it, they upload the information.
The whole process took only five or six minutes, and everything was done.
"Okay, sir, your car purchase contract has taken effect. You can follow us to the back to pick up the car."
The car transaction was completed.
Because the car the young man bought was available at the auto show.
Therefore, he can directly take the contract to the back of the auto show and pick up the car.
"Huh? I can pick up the car now, and I don't have to pay any other fees?"
The salesperson smiled and said, "No, sir, the cost of your order already includes all expenses."
When the young man heard that he really didn't have to pay any extra money, he said happily, "I didn't expect that what I, Shao Yuan, said was true. From now on, I will be his die-hard fan."
One of the three salespeople stood up and personally took the young man to pick up the car.
The remaining two sales staff continued to serve customers.
Throughout the whole process, the attitudes of the three sales staff were very good.
The entire process was captured by Ma Liang's mobile phone.
He watched the young man happily follow the salesperson to pick up the car, and proudly said to the person in the live broadcast room who had just questioned Zhen Shao Yuan, "See? He didn't even pay a penny and just went to pick up the car. Who just said this exchange voucher was fake and a scam?"
At this time, the number of people online in his live broadcast room reached more than five million.
When those people saw this scene, some of them believed it.
Some people still don't believe it.
"Tsk, who knows if that guy actually went to pick up the car? Maybe he was taken away instead of picking up the car, and was threatened to pay extra money."
"That's right. We just signed a contract and asked the customer to confirm receipt. Who knows if the customer actually picked up the car?"
"Anyway, I don't believe it. This isn't some luxury car. Besides, this car wasn't sold by those salespeople, so they don't get any commission. How can they still be smiling so happily? There must be a conspiracy here."
"There must be a conspiracy, otherwise why would their service be so good?"
"Everything that's fake is fake. It's all acting, and you idiots believe it."
…
I didn’t expect that even after all this, there were still people in the live broadcast room who didn’t believe it.
Ma Liang was very angry, but he had no evidence to refute some of what they said.
We can only wait for him to pick up the car in person.
Of course, he can only pick up the car if it is available at the auto show.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait.
Soon, a middle-aged man in the second position was also taken away by another salesperson.
Next it was Ma Liang and his girlfriend's turn.
Unexpectedly, they were so lucky that the car they bought was also available at the auto show.
And it’s the last one.
When the two were signing the car purchase contract, the salesperson who had taken the young man to pick up the car came back.
Afterwards, after the two signed the contract and confirmed receipt, the salesperson took them to pick up the car.
The two followed the salesperson, turning left and right, walked through a passage, and came to the garage behind the auto show.
In the garage behind the auto show, there are more than a hundred cars of different sizes.
Looking around, it seems like you are trapped in a sea of cars.
It's spectacular.
Soon, the salesperson brought the two of them to the car they bought.
At this time, another salesperson was already waiting in front of the car.
After seeing Ma Liang and the other man arrive, he smiled and first confirmed with them whether they had a driver's license.
After confirming that they could drive back by themselves and did not need to call a designated driver, he handed them two car keys and a receipt.
"Sir, these are the car keys. Please check the car and sign for them after confirming that there are no problems."
Ma Liang got into the car, started it, and carefully checked it, while his girlfriend took out her mobile phone to film him live.
Because it was a live broadcast, Ma Liang checked it very carefully to avoid being criticized by others for not checking it carefully.
Only after confirming that there was no problem with the car did Ma Liang sign his name on the receipt.
"Is that all?"
Ma Liang asked the salesperson.
The salesperson said, "Yes, you can drive away directly. The main entrance is on your right. There may be pedestrians in the aisle, so please be careful when you drive."
After hearing this, Ma Liang and his girlfriend got into the car, started the car, and drove out carefully.
After parking the car in a roadside parking space and getting out, Ma Liang looked towards the live broadcast room.
He gently patted the freshly-made black electric car and said to the camera, "See what this is? It took less than half an hour from the time I exchanged it to now. And I didn't have to pay a penny. Who was that person who said it was impossible to exchange the car and that if I did, I'd eat shit? Come out and say something if you have the guts."
"Where are the people? Speak."
In the live broadcast room, the fans of Zhen Shao Yuan who had been holding their breath immediately reacted and started flooding the screen with comments.
"Yeah, didn't you just say you were going to livestream eating shit? Even though the scene is a bit disgusting, I don't mind watching it."
"Haha, yeah, I've never seen anyone eat shit before. Come out and show it off. Maybe you'll have millions of fans after you finish eating it."
"I guess his face was swollen from being beaten, and he was too embarrassed to face people."
"I knew that His Majesty would not lie to us."
"I made a lot of money. I bought two cars. Even if I sell them as used cars now, I will make a lot of money."
"Someone just asked me if I wanted to buy the exchange voucher. Luckily I didn't, or I would have lost a lot of money."
"I almost believed those idiots and asked for a refund, but luckily I didn't."
"I regret it so much. I should have placed the order earlier. Now I'm at a huge loss."
"I thought His Majesty was playing tricks, but I didn't expect there were no tricks at all. If I had known this was the case, I would have placed the order directly. It's too late to say anything now."
…
Live broadcasts like Ma Liang's have now spread everywhere.
At this time, those who had the opportunity to place an order in the live broadcast room but did not place an order are really regretting it!
There are also those who were frightened by online rumors and chose to refund directly.
There are also all kinds of regrets.
And those who had been mocking and slandering Shao Yuan online all shut their mouths at this moment.
I, Shao Yuan, used my money power to thoroughly smack their faces, so swollen that they couldn't even speak.
The number of fans of Zhen Shao Yuan also saw a rapid increase.
From the original 50 million fans, the number skyrocketed to more than 80,000 in just one day and one night, approaching 90 million.
